People -who travel upon pleasure or busi ness are presumed to have better filled pockets than those who remain at home. Therefore it is that thieves, gamblers, prosti tutes and others who thrive upon the weak ness or imwariness of their fellow beings, have come to resort to popular steamboat and railroad lines for plying their wicked vocations. Any one who has made an ex tended 3SeW England,, during the past summer, must have seen or heard of some of the nefarious practices that prevail on some of the lines. Well-dressed gamblers infest rail-cars, and after engaging innocent travelers in “a, little game of euchre,” proceed to tempt them to bets upon cardfl, in which of course they are losers. On the steamboats of the Hudson river and Long Island Sound, this gambling business is carried on even more extensively. The New York Times has had the courage to- speak eut openly on this subject. It says; “Scarcely a night passes upon which some one is not deliberately robbed at the ‘little games’ carried cn under, cover of a stateroom—and the ap plicant for accommodations for an up river or an eastern trip, is quite likely to find the best rooms.are engaged by a very doubtful class of persons, who are in the habit of going up on one boat and down on the other, and so injuring the reputation of the line as to len der it almost unsafe for a lady who may be compelled to travel alone, or for gentlemen who are up the river to buy lumber, aud are liable to join in a game with a small bet to make it interesting, and who are apt to find *. themselves in the morning with scarcely enough left to purchase a Breakfast, pay for a shave, and buy a shingle in the ‘lumber district.’ ” This is bad enough. Bui in ad dition to this testimony of a New York paper, the testimony of travelers could be obtained that on some of the steamboats state-rooms are frequently secured by prostitutes, and after wards the clerk sends to them such men wanting berths as he thinks may be easy game. One of the boats of the Newport line of steamers is now avoided by decent people who have discovered the prevalence of this practice. There seems to be a connivance between the traveling prostitutes aud the clerks and other officers of the boats, who may be presumed to receive a share of the profits of the infamous trade. Perhaps, too, the gamblers and harlots are iu a kind of partnership. At any rate, they travel iu toother, and both classes are equally -sharp aud tunning in their Various devices lo inveigle the unwary and the weak. It is very important that people who travel but seldom should know to what perils of morals, health and purse they are exposed when they leave New York by some of the popular and most frequented lines of travel. Now that the subject has been, publicly broached by a prominent New York paper, it ought to be taken in hand by some of the moral reform or religious societies of that city. It will be very easy for them to ascertain which companies tolerate and which forbid the wicked practices referred to, and the decent "public would at once discriminate in Javoi of well-conducted Bteamboats, and against those that are little better than travel ing brothels" and gambling hells. SHERIDAN’S RECEPTION. Philadelphia did herself great honor, last evening, in honoring Major-General Philip H. Sheridan. The popular enthusiasm was spontaneous and genuine. The crowds that filled the streets through which he passed ■were enormous. Certainly' there must have been over two hundred thousand people along the route. It is only natural for Copper head and Johnson organs to attempt to dis parage all such ovations to'a brave soldier of the Union; but the people know what that means, and they are not'disposed to forget a great hero’s services, because a few cor* nipt and mercenary politicians refuse to recognize them. General Sheridan, throughout the war, did such deeds as entitle him to the eternal gratitude of the American people, and everything that he has done since - the war ended has simply added to that debt of gratitude. The people of Philadelphia re joice in having him as their guest. Those few who are indignant at the honors offered to him, are the men who would like to heap honors on Lee, Beauregard and the other traitorous heroes of “the loßt cause.” THE UIUTISM LION ttIAKING AN ASS OF HIMSELF. The alarm excited in the minds of British officials by the Fenian demonstrations which occurred some time ago, and by those also of a later date, is manifested in a very absurd and sometimes a very disagreeable manner. By every European mail we hear of the arrest of persons in England and Ireland upon the most unfounded suspicions of their com plicity with the Fenians. The possession of a pike, the reception of American letters, the wearing of clothing of a green color, or a careless word of sympathy for the oppressed Irish people, arc considered sufficient cause for arrest and temporary imprisonment. A week or two ago the leaders of a procession in England were taken into # custody and charged with inciting to riot, simply because they wore bits of green ribbon, and marched to the martial music of “the girl I left behind me. And instances are by no means rare of the arrest of men against whom not a particle of evidence existed other than that invented by the excited imaginations of the too zeai «no police. V But it is in the direction of United Btatee that the government officers look with the greatest apprehension. There is a con stant fear that some hold Fenian will slip into the green island unaware, and give the British lion another fit of dnmlMtgue, and thy constabulary a few more skirmishes araont, the mountains. The consequence.ot this is a system of espionage upon American steam ship passengers, which'would have disgraced Austria in the darkest days of the Italian revo lution. No sooner does a -steamer arrive at Queenstown than she is boarded by custom house officers and policemen, who not only examine trunks for contraband articles, ! but conduct themselves in the rudest ; and, most brutal manner towards their ownejSr: An esteemed citizen of | and a peace man by the way —was arrqsffcd a j short time since, immediately upon landing, upon suspicion of his belonging to the Fenian Brotherhood and of entertaining a design against the peace of the realm. Two young ladies were left without protection in an un known city in the middle of the night, while he was hurried off to the station-house, where his person and his effects underwent a minute examination. Another Philadelphian had his private letters seized and was compelled to stand by under guard, while an insolent Eng lishman perused each of them from date to signature. These are but a few instances. have occurred and do oectir every we&c at Queens town and other Irish ports; and unless some measures are taken by our Government to put an end to them, these outrages will con tinue. If the safety of the British rule in Ireland depends upon the prying of bearish officials into private letters, and the rude seizure of men against whom there is not a shadow of suspicion, the sooner the Fenian or some other organization overthrows it the better. The Fenian leaders are mean enough to rob chambermaids, but even that is hardiy as despicable as the spectacle of the great British nation tearing open the love letters of wandering young gentlemen to find evi dence against them. JIK. DICKENS* Mr. Charles Dickens, in the course of a recent letter friend upon this side of the Atlantic, upon the subject of his proposed visit to the. United States, and his probable reception here, says: 'T notice that about once in every seven years I become the victim of a paragraph disease. 1 It breaks out in England, travels to India by the overland route, gets to America per Cunard line, strikes the base of the Rocky Mountains, and, rebounding back to Europe, mostly perishes on the steppes of Russia from inani tion and extreme cold.” This is certainly modest. What most in terests the American reading public in regard to Mr. Dickens is his works. The people here care but little or nothing as to his per sonal habits; whether he is a spendthrift or a toady to the aristocracy; whether he was in fault in the separation from his wife, or whether be tells untruths about the amounts that he receives from the American pub lishers of his books. They read his stories because they are read able, and they care no more about the personality of their author than they care for the individual character of the artist who gratifies their taste in a fine painting or in a choice piece of sculpture. There was a time when the American people entertained a warjn personal feeling toward the creator of the characters M “Oliver Twist,” “Little Nell” and “gmike," and some of them made dunces of themselves about it; but “Martin Chuzziewit” and the “American Notes” cured them of that feeling, and they learned to their disgust that their literary icUfi had failed to understand the generous warmth of a ereat people, and that he had slurred and ridiculed the many because .of the grotesqueness of the hospitable demonstrations of the injudicious few. Mr. Dickens will come to this country as a pro fessional reader, and people will go to hear him read just as they would go to see another professional enact Julius Cicsar or Jerry Sneak. Twenty-five years ago things were different. 'There was a personal feeling then. There is none now. There may still be some Jefferson Bricks, Mrs. Hominies, and Elijah Pograms, who will greet Mr. Dickens “with their heart's in their hands,” just as they would greet any other well known personage; but there will - be no sen sation that will “strike the base of tho. Rocky Mountains and rebound back to Europe.” Mr. Dickens will doubtless give us the worth of our money from the reading-desk; we will pay for what we get, and there ah end of it. America has changed within twenty-five years, and Mr. Dickens has grown that much older since 1842. ■ The English papers contain an account of a curious case of false personation which had taken place in London. A Mr. Frederick Lee, harness-maker, was summoned to serve on the petty, jury of the Central Criminal Court. Ills name was called, a man answered, was sworn in and sat several days on the jury. It subsequently turned out that the person callihg himself Frederick Lee was not the Simon Pure Lee, but the foreman of the latter, who had been sent by his employer to personate him. For this fraud the foreman was fined and the harness-maker ijjuOO, and both are to be indicted for conspiracy. In the spring of lsra! a case almost precisely similar took place in this city. A man named Bernard Corr was summoned to serve as a juror in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, and, as it did not suit him to attend, he sent a next door neighbor, .one Charles McQuillan, to personate him. McQuillan answered .to Corr’s name, and it so happened that he served on the jury in the famous trial of Arthur Spring, lor the murder of Honors Shaw and Ellen Lynch. Spring was convicted, and it was then discovered that Bernard Corr, whose name appeared on the list of jurors who tried him, had not been in the jury-box at all. Mr. Doran, counsel for the prisoner, upon making this discovery, asked that the trial be declared a nullity,and demanded the discharge of his client on the well-known plea that fio man’s life should twice be put in jeopardy for the same offence. The verdict was set aside; but a new trial was .ordered, and this resulted in the conviction and execution of the mon- ster Spring. McQuillan was committed to the County Prison for sixty days for his share in -the. business, the presiding Judge" intimating to him pretty broadly that it was only because he was so great a fool that hia punishment wau not made greater. Bernard Corr &VI&NINH RTTT,T,?/rTN -PB TLA DELPHI A, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1867. THKPATLY •was fined thirty dollars. This ailin', which, caused a great excitement in the public mind at the time of and which in volved the county in heavy expense, was a legitimate consequence of the old jury system, by the operation of which the most ignorant and inexperienced men in the community were'selected ns jurors. We have improved considerably in this respect; but, judging from some of the verdicts that are occa sionally given, there is still a Wide field for further improvement. It would be a safe venture to say that, since Philadelphia was a city, it never, at any one time, contained as many broken pattes of glass as it did at five, o’clock yesterday after noon. Between four and five o’clock a hail storm of unparalleled violence passed over the city, the hail-stones coming down thick and fast, and scattering about promiscuously specimens, varying from the size of a cherry stone to those that were as large as hen’s eggs. The storm came from the northwest and the windows of houses upon the southern and eastern sides of the streets, especially where the buildings were lofty and the sheets wjjle,' l suffered terribly. In .some of the windows almost- a clear sweep was made of the glass, and the sash itself seemed threatened with de struction: Skylights and conservatories in particular fared very badly, and the damage from the pouring in of rain through tlie frac tured glass was greater, in some instances, than the mere breakage. If a huge powder mill had exploded in the heart of the city, or if a hand to hand fight with musketry and grape shot had taken’ place in every street, the damage to window-glass could scarcely have been greater. There were probably fully a million panes of glass broken in the city by the storm, involving a loss of not less than two hundred thousand dollars. But the loss was divided among a very large number of persons, and the glaziers will realize that it is an ill wind that blows nobody good. As an evidence of the quantity of hail that fell it may be stated that near- noon to-day a con glomerate mass of hailstones nearly half a peck in bulk was picked up upon the roof of the Bulletin 'Building. Voters should recollect that the lists will be open for extra assessments only to-day and to-morrow,-and that those persons who have not yet been assessed must be careful to have their names placed on the assessed lists if they desire to vote. Every citizen owes it to his country and to himself to see that he is not excluded from casting his ballot at the coming election. - Sales by Order ol Ui<: Orphans’ Court, yxctutors, Trustees mid others.

A lew minutes before one o’clock' the General and his Stall' and During tbesu demonstrations the General ac knowledged the compliments by rising and bow ing with his head uncovered. Independence Hall was reached about five minutes past one o’clock. Here people had been assembling for about an hour previous, ar.d by the time the party arrived the crowd filled half of the squuri} between Fifth and Sixth streets. A large force of police under the immediate com mand of Chief Buggies was present, and koot a passage way, clear from the curbstone to the door of the hall. I The Htcmbers.of City Councils had, assembled in their respective chambers, and at one o'clock proceeded to Independence Hall, each branch led off by its President. Mayor McMichael occupied a position at the eastern end of the hall, imme diately in front of the statue of Washington, and the President of Select Council stood on one side of him and the President of Common Council oti the other Bide. The members of Couneiis.were arranged on each side of the hall. As General Sheridan and stall' entered the hall they were greeted with applause. Mayor McMichael, after shaking the General by the hand, addressed him as follows: (Jencral: Here, iu the birth-place of the republic—tier.', where the Declaration of Independence was adopted and proclaimed, the city of Philadelphia, through its cousti tutod .authorities,hide you welcome; you, who have fought so gallantly in guarding .the life of the repnblic; you, wh'o have acted so wlaely iu maintaining the princi ples of the Declaration. .... It Is not possible for me to put into adequate speech tho feelings thatpiompt this welcome, und I shall not at tempt It. Intensely loyal as this community was during the war to crush the rebellion, it delights to honor those who marshalled our armies and led them to victory—in t< nsely national as this community now is, it delights to honor those who are earnest in the purpose that the triumph of law shall equal the triumph of the battle-field.

General Sneridan replied—“l regret, Mr. Mayor, that I have not language enough to -ex press properly, my feelings at this hign compli ment. “I can only say that you will gratify me very much by conveying to the Common Council of the city of Philadelphia, and- the citizens, how highly 1 feel honored. “I regret venr much that I have net tho ability to more fittingly express my appreciation of this welcome.” The members of Councils were then introduced individually to the gailant soldier and shook him 2:15 O’OlookL. 1867 FALL AND wrNTER- 1867 FUR H 0 U S E, (ESTABLISHED IN 1818.)

For upwards of an hour this hand-shaking con tinued. Merchants, brokers, mechanics—in fact all classes of the community—uassed through the hall and the General greeted each one with a smile and grasped his hand. After the crowd hud been pretty w;cll thinned out thedistinguished party entered the barouches, and were driven to the Continental Hotel, the same scenes being enacted as were witnessed on the downward trip. This afternoon General Sheridan will go to Germantown, and will be the guest of Mr. Thos. H. Newhali, whose son, Lieutenant-Colonel F. C. Nejwhall, was a member of his stall' during the wans.

IM'EItNAL REVENUE FRAUDS Tlie Trenton Races Postponed From Washington, Sept. 20.—A. S. White, F.sq., of the Indian Department, and Secretary of the Indian Peace Commission, arrived in Wash ington last evening, four days from the North Platte, the Commission having ad journed at that point on the 21st inst., to meet at Fort Hacker, Kansas, on the Bth of October, for the purpose of making ar rangements to meet the five tribes, Cheyennes, Arrapahoes; Apaches, Sioux and Camaaches, at Medicine Lodge Creek, 80 miles south of Fort Lnrned. Mr. White reports that the council with the chiefs of the Brule,Ogaliala and Cheyenne tribes was successful. They agree to meet the Commissioner at Fort Laramie on the Ist of No vember next, and in the meantime they will send out runners among their people to bring in to the Council at that place those who have not yet been met with. At the council with the Indians on the 19th instant, at North Platte, they attri buted the present troubles to * the building of the Smoky Hllf Railroad and the wagon road through the Powder River country to Montana, which they alleged divide the best hunting grounds now left to them. They wanted these two roads abandoned by the Government, and desire to be permitted to hunt as long as the game lasts, when they would be willing to buy and cultivate the soil. The next day the Commission met the Indians in council, to respond to their propositions, which was done by General Sherman, who read the paper prepared by him of tlie sense of the Com mission, the substance of which has already been published. The Indians who were then present under stand that they have entered into a contract of peace. Mr. White will leave Washington again about the first of October, to meet the Commission at Fort Ilarkcr on the Bth. At present, the various members have separated. Commissioner Taylor, the President of the Board, is at Chicago; Gen. Terry is at his headquarters at St. Paul; Senator Henderson at his home in Louisiana, Missouri; Generals Sherman and Harney are at Bt. Louis;. Col. Tappan left for Denver, Colorado, on the 21st, and General Sanborn, who is disbursing oflicer of the Commission, remains at Omaha, attending to the shipment of supplies to the In dians of the upper Missouri river, whose crops have been destroyed by the grasshoppers. Deri&uding tbe Internal Revenue. [Special Ueeparclv to the Evening Bulletin, bj Haaeon'e Independent New. Agency.] - f New York, Sept. 26.—A-new means of de frauding the internal revenue law is receiving considerable check by the vigilance of the officers at this port. The seizure of a vessel a few days ago and her release yesterday was one of the ef fects of suspicion that the Government was de frauded in the exportation of spirits. Yesterday a bark called the Geo. Hill, which was making preparations to start for a foreign port, was seized by orders from Collector Shook, at Pier 39, East river. She had on board 500 or COO barrels of whisky. On examination it was found thHt part of the barrels contained water. This is sufficient ground to predicate the idea that frauds were intended to be committed. The whisky was taken from a bonded warehouse in the Eighth District, and placed on board of the bark. Postponement of the Jockey Races. [Special Despatch to the Evening Bulletin by Haseon'a Independent News Agency.] Newark, N.

THE SECBEMRY OF WAR HAS THE POWER TO DISCHAROR From Now York. [Special IlcßPatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.! Nkw York, Sept. 26 Judge Blatehford, of the United States District Court, lias delivered an exhaustive and important opinion on the subject of enlisting minors, in which he decides that the only power to discharge minors enlisted as sol diers is vested in the Secretary of War. John Riley,who is it present stationed ns a sol dier at Willett’s Point, was taken before Jsdge Blatehford on a writ of habecu corpus, which set forth that he was illegally detained, inasmuch as he was a minor, and had been enlisted withdut the consent of his parents. Riley was enlisted at Boston on the 13th- of October, 1866, at which time he Bwore that he was nineteen years of age. Judge Blatehford said that the right of a parent to a son’s services is subordinate to the para mount right of the Government to demand his : military services. Congress has a right to fix the age at which a recruit is of proper age, and his oath that he Is of such age shall be conclu sive. The only question was, whether nineteen is under the age fixed by law. Judge Blatehford examined the question at gTcat leDgth, reviewing the various enlistment laws since 1813. He arrives at the following con clusion: ‘•Enlistments of minors of over the age of 18- years, without the consont of their parents, guar dians or masters, are valid, and the oath of en listment taken by the recruit is conclusive as to his age, blit it is not lawful to muster into ser vice a person under the age of 18 years.” •The whole power of discharging minors who have enlisted is given to the Secretary of War by the laws of Congress. From Washington. Washington, Sept. 26th.—The prize-fight between Mullen and Dillon did not take place this morning, as anticipated. At 8.45 A. M. Mullen went into the ring, and waited until 10 o’clock, and then came to Washington, on his way to Philadelphia. Dillon, soon after Mullen had left the ground, entered the ring, when Mnlien’s frionda claimed' that he was after the time limited, namely 10 o’clock. ' Dillon’s friends claimed the stakes,sl,ooo a side,, alleging a previous agreement that the fight should take place on the Leesburg turnpike, nine miles from Washington, instead of at the spot where the ring was placed, and where about 500 persons bad assembled. Dillon and his friends had previously gone to the Leesburg turnpike location, and thus foiled to reach the ring in time. After parleying, It was agreed by the stake holder that If Mnllen could be brought back to the ground before one o’clock; the flght should take place, but Mnllen did not return, and it is said the money has been given to Mnllen on the ground that Dillon failed to meet him in the ring, before the time specified had expired, namely, l 6 o’clock.
